Are you saying our mods put on red outfits like Father Xmas and wear pomandered wigs whilst frowning and hand out judgements.What Barton said,..."nonce" etc, he wouldn't be able to say on on TV. However , it was a social media post. I've seen stuff get bad on HOL and the BBS where people are name-called, and it sometimes gets a verbal warning from the MODs. And the occasional yellow.
This ruling kind of sets a precedent for all sorts of cases to be brought to court for comments made on social media.

He said that the commentators were the punditry equivalent of Fred and Rose West and that Vine was a slang word used for paedophile.What did he say? Is it true?
Judges are very limited as to the sentences they can hand down,I wasn't at either trial so will reserve judgement and trust the judge.Remember, according to our justice system it is a more serious offence to call someone a 'Nonce', then to be an actual Nonce.
Make it make sense.
